Last nite, against that team, he was just flat out a better athlete and able to get away with things. Against Big Ten, I am not so sure he can consistantly. I'd like to see him get more time, no question. But "something" is obviously holding him back. Again, I think its the physicality part more than anything.
Jump shot? Come on. Smith Jr. can't throw it into the ocean. But he can defend, rebound and has the strength to guard multiple players. But Thompson has more upside. I think he is going to be an absolute stud at OSU before its all over with. He has "star" written all over him. And he is probably a 4yr player. At very least, 3yrs.
Thompson reminds me an awful lot of Buford as a freshman, especially physically...and you're right, the kid's going to be a stud.
